CR is governed by a board of volunteer directors, each of whom is elected for a three-year term. Board members receive no compensation, but are reimbursed for meeting expenses. <br>
<br>
For more than eighty years, Consumer Reports has worked side by side with consumers to
create a fair and just marketplace and empower people across the country. Our shared success has always depended on listening closely to our members, so we ask you to take a few moments to vote for the directors and help guide our organization forward.<br>
<br>
With gratitude, <br>
<br>
